It makes zero sense to spend up to $75,000 of taxpayer money (3 years prison expenses) because someone failed to list his Facebook account. This amounts to a technical violation at best. Society is allowing Lawmakers to destroy society with such laws, there is a better way think about it, time to wake up! Get rid of Lawmakers who enact laws which harm society.
